    The ACC has proven it is that good. Largest disparity in the RPI for conferences sinces its inception. Louisville, Cinci while all strong in your conference have proven to be just average outside of CUSA. Maryland would pummel any CUSA team and they are 6th I think. Syracuse sucks

    To be honest, I do think UNCC could compete in the ACC. Probably 5-11 or 6-10 at best, but competitive.

    Um news flash, before conference play Louisville and Cincy were cleaning everyone out. They were both top 10 teams and looked to be final four candidates. They come into conference play and then get roughed up. Check your facts.

    You should take your own advice. How many number 1's did CUSA knock off?

    That's a scheduling issue, how many opportunities does one team get to do that? UNC Chapel Hill won't get another chance to defeat a Number 1 this season.

    I believe that the 3 ACC teams that knocked off a number 1 OOC got 2 chances apiece. All 3 beat a number 1 OOC, and lost to Dook. State then beat Dook when it was Number 1.

    How many currently ranked teams have either knocked off is a better question.

    Again opportunities in scheduling... Louisville beat teams ranked at the time... Florida, Kentucky, Cincinnati and Marquette. Only UK and Cincy are now ranked.

    Cincinnati, believe it or not has defeated no one in the top 25 all season.

    (Charlotte has wins over Syracuse, Southern Illinois, Marquette, Cincinnati and Louisville. SUI, Cincy and Louisville are currently ranked and Syracuse is just out of the rankings.)

    Which conference played the tougher schedules?

    Hint: It does not start with the letter "C"

    First off, Slydevl hasn't earned the right to show his face on this thread since the red-assed smackdown I administered to him.

    Second, Louisville knocked off #1 Florida and I'm thinking that another CUSA team did it too. CUSA cleaned up in non-conference play, especially the top half of the conference. Particularly, Louisville and Charlotte were noted to be two of about five teams (stat is a couple weeks old) that beat three top 10 teams this season. The ONLY ACC team to do it was Duke.

    Not that any of that crap matters. You can manipulate the stats to say whatever you want. Especially when you are using a beauty contest such as one of the two top 25 polls as your basis. What matters to me is that CUSA will definitely get at least 5, and maybe 6 or 7 NCAA bids, and several of its teams are getting regular mention as Final Four candidates. ACC alumnus Jay Bilas was just talking about Memphis in the Final Four.

    Deny it all you want, CUSA is strong. Be thankful we have a couple of RPI 150-200 teams to drag our collective rating down or the truth about the top two thirds of the conference would get even more airtime. Huggins, Calipari, Rick Pitino, Bobby Lutz, Tom Cream, Dave Leitao and Brad Soderberg. This conference is big time. No other league can match that collective coaching fraternity. Period. If it weren't for Kryz-zewski, the ACC couldnt even sneak into the conversation.
